Kate Bosworth New Face of Topshop
In fact, in a recent edit meeting, a handful of editors lamented this very challenge…fantasizing about a magical tool-kit that could easily (and affordably) multiply our holiday outfit options while being right on trend with winter’s most runway-worthy themes.
And…POOF! We’d like to introduce you to our new Holiday Trend Kit, a four-piece planning powerhouse that puts the season’s best on-trend accessories front and center, making that trusty party dress, jumpsuit, peplum skirt, whatever, shiny and new again. Nothing complicated here, just great, easy pieces that pack a punch and provide that essential blueprint for pulling your favorite pieces together in a fresh way. Maybe it’s not the Céline bag on your lust list, but consider this nifty roundup our little gift to you.
Metallic Clutch — Simple yet arresting, the metallic clutch can be worn with more feminine dresses or masculine suits. We love the idea of wearing it with velvet for a modern update on the Le Smoking.
River Island Silver Metallic Oversized Clutch Bag, $24.07, available at River Island.

The best thing about this clutch is that it can work for daytime, too. Big enough to hold the essentials (leave your snacks at home for once, guys!), the clutch allows you to elevate your everyday work-to-party outfits in an unfussy way.

Something Baroque — To keep a mix of tough and delicate, lavish and laid-back, pair a bit of Baroque with down-to-earth lace-up flats, a leather jacket, and other go-to pieces. The results are instant glamour without all the foof.
